Japanese Industrial

[Nowhere Girl 189]

Can anyone recommend any Japanese Industrial bands? Industrial Rock, Industrial Metal, Industrial Electronic, I don't care. The grimier the better.

 

I'm only aware of two bands in this genre:

 

Baal

 

 

Blam Honey

There used to be a band called DESPAIR, they were pretty good.

 

Don't confuse them with DespairsRay tho.

 

Then, you may want to try GPKISM, and Aural Vampire

Here's a couple that are all over the industrial spectrum.

 

Oh, I remembered a couple more:

- Guniw Tools' DAZZLE album has some industrial vibes on a couple of tracks

- hide's (sadly) short-lived English project, Zilch

- Not sure if it'd count more as digital hardcore or industrial, but AA= might also be up your alley

Despair, Der Eisenrost (Chu Ishikawa <3) and old Schaft all the way!

 

Does anyone know of any current, or as of yet unlisted industrial bands from Japan? I mean the 'old' kind of industrial, more tribal and experimental than the usual copy-paste industrial rock (along the lines of old Einstürzende Neubauten, Test Dept and the like).

 

Oh, and since I mentioned Der Eisenrost, I only saw this excellent live vid just now:

 

 

Amazing.

Despair is basically impossible to find anything about. After numerous searches, I found their Beautiful Japanese Sight single on Youtube, which is kind of amazing! Did they really only have one album?

[TetsuAkira 289]

I saw one of their albums (Despair) hanging around ages ago and never DL'd it.

 

Interested now haha.

The only info I can get is on discogs. Does anyone have high quality rips of this stuff?

I can upload their EP, Beautiful Japanese Sight.

I thought I made a Despair discography thread here on MH (I'm on mobile now, harder to check), but if not, I can pretty much upload everything that's available (I have most of their CDs).

 

Edit: nope, looks like I only wanted to make one but never did. Now's the chance tho!

It is done. ;<

I dunno, to me industrial is as uniquely German as VK is Japanese.

 

That said, Baal wasn't too bad.
